## Resource

In this explosive episode, Brian sits down with Eric Palacios of the Hairy Man Road YouTube channel to talk about his Bigfoot research, his documentary work, and the firestorm surrounding the new SXSW documentary Capturing Bigfoot. Eric shares the story behind his Texas Hairy Man Road investigations, his independent documentaries, and the FOIA requests that uncovered 911 calls, photos, and even wildlife-agency records referencing cryptids in places like Louisiana and Arizona. He also breaks down his experience attending the SXSW screening in Austin, meeting director Mark Evansand Clint Patterson, and later taking part in a Q&A tied to the film.The conversation dives deep into the controversy over the Patterson–Gimlin film, including the documentary’s emotional focus on Clint Patterson and Patricia Patterson’s claims that the PGF was a hoax. Eric also discusses the newly surfaced 40-second 1966 Kodachrome clip connected to a Boeing engineer’s family, which he says appears to show the very same “Patty” suit seen in the Patterson–Gimlin film, along with side-by-side comparisons presented in the documentary. We also get into the backlash that followed, including online attacks, threats, and doxxing, as this debate continues to divide the Bigfoot community.
